Its been 5 days since I joined Dietbet. I've been following the FABruary workout routine(yay me!) and trying to cut down on my food intake and record what I eat but I don't have a fixed meal plan or anything. Before I joined dietbet, I lost 1.45kg in the month of January by just cutting down on my food intake and trying to follow one exercise video a day. So my Feb target was to lose another 1.5kg. But low and behold, I stumbled upon Blogilates while searching for new youtube videos! *takes a minute to thank my lucky stars* So here I am, drastically increasing my workouts, and aiming much higher for 2.3kg in Feb.
I've got down to 57.1kg but this morning after stepping on the scales.. I kinda feel like im back to square one. I am a little disappointed. I've worked out hard(god!), and I've cut down on my intake. But I know that recently I've been going out with friends and its a little bit difficult to control what I eat (though I try to eat less carbs). We meet for supper and late dinners and I since dont see my friends that often, I want to have a good time with them and not be picky about what food we eat. So although I stick to my insane workouts, my diet hasnt been the most ideal.
Although I feel a little discouraged now, I know that there are already changes to my body. I can see it. I can feel it, and honestly even at 5 days I feel like my body is at the best it has ever been. My face is a little sharper, my abs are starting to show, and my arms have a little more definition.
Last night, I met my Beijing friends to surprise one of them for his birthday. XM tried to jiggle my fats as usual and she was shocked when she realised that she couldnt. The fats on my arms had disappeared! And I was shocked too. It was such a gradual change that I just didnt notice them. When I wiggle my arms theres still a little bit of jiggle, but its noticeably less. I've always wanted thinner arms and this arm fat has been a secret bane of mine for YEARS.Nobody knows, but I am extremely conscious when waving hi or goodbye to friends and also when flagging that silly bus.
When I embarked on this journey I wanted to look better. But I didnt actually have an ideal body that I was working towards because I've always been.. not fat, but not slender and slim. And some parts of my body has always been bigger. So I didn't want to aim for what I thought was impossible for my body time ie. nice slim arms and long slim legs. But maybe, just maybe its actually going to be possible?!
I am going to keep going and see what happens.
I will not feel discouraged today.
I will train like a beast and feel like a beauty.
